It's an awful fact that people with certain body types (endomorph & mesomorph) cannot lose weight by consuming refined carbs like pasta, bread and rice. It is also true that these refined carbs (even its fibre rich counterparts) can cause blood sugar spikes which causes eating binges. This doesn't help you with your diet. Instead replace them by consuming healthier versions that will keep your body balanced whilst losing weight.

One of our favourite products is Shirataki noodles! Shirataki noodles is the name for noodles made from the the konjac plant grown in Eastern Asia and used for thousands of years in Japan to lose weight.

Konjac is 100% natural, gluten free, high in fibre, almost calorie-free and carb free. Nutritionist Pierre Dukan popularised the root of the fibrous plant in 2011 when he added it to his 100 approved foods list.
